Question

Find the volume of the pyramid below

Answer 1

The correct answer is option B. 384 units³

Explanation:

Formula:-

Volume of pyramid = (a²h)/3

Where a - side of base

h - height of pyramid

To find the volume of given pyramid

Here a = 12 units and h = 8 units

Volume = (a²h)/3

= (12² * 8)/3

= (12 * 12 * 8)/3

= (4 * 12 * 8) = 384 units³

Therefore the correct answer is option B. 384 units³

Answer 2

Answer: OPTION B

Explanation:

Since the base is a square, you need to use the following formula:

`V=(s^2h)/(3)`

Where "s" is the lenght of any side of the base and "h" is the height of the pyramid.

You can identify in the figure that:

`s=12units\\h=8units`

Then you can substitute these values into the formula to calculte the volume of this pyramid. Therefore, the result is:

`V=((12units)^2(8units))/(3)=384units^3`
